I join the club of those claiming the app is crashing. I tried contact by mail but no luck. I'd not say it crashes, but the bubble head is killed by Android way too often. My phone runs Android 8. Battery optimization off, Doze On. I'll be happy to update my review if any kind of answer :) I think this is one the best bubble browsers and if customer support was guaranteed I'd be happy to pay for it!

Now this makes browsing easy & let's you read through the articles at your own pace. I have a few suggestions though: (1) Would like the option of "pinch in to zoom" while reading. (2) Make the orientation of the reader adopt to that of the screen i.e. if I switch to landscape mode, the reader should too. (3) Options to have different bubble shapes. Hope the devs acknowledge this. New Update: 2.1.2 keeps crashing abruptly when scrolling. Need to restart the app to restore the links which were opened. Will reset the rating to 5 once fixed!

This app is awesome! Exactly what I was searching for for so long. Alas, I have slight annoyances with the app. I would love it if when your are in the Flynx side menu, it seems fitting that you may exit the app by tapping anywhere except the Flynx interface. This is not implemented! Messenger has made me feel this is a God-granted need, and it shouldn't be difficult to implement. Other than my issues, this app is amazing and what I was searching for. A-

So different to all other browsers. Pages load in background just open google app and click on all links you want, then just open flynx and view one by one instantly. It seems to block ads as well as flashing things. Just pure reading, i like it.

Superb. It still loads quickly eventhought my data plan has been throttled. Additional request; can you guys make an option for 'not to store anything on recent' or easy to say, option to goes incognito?

I love this app. It's basically a web browser that opens in bubbles. It has a reading mode default, so it's ideal for reading the internet and isn't very capable of doing more elaborate things, which they acknowledge and have a convenient button for opening in a different browser in case the page doesn't work right. A big feature I would love is saved groups of bubbles. Sometimes I will sit down to start a reading session and I'll open 10 or more bubbles at once and start reading. If that gets interrupted I'll just close all the bubbles and even tho I can go into the history I would like to be able to recover those 10 bubbles as a group. Great app!

Tried many floating browsers and this has the best UI and is the most stable. The problem is that if i set android nav bar to hide automatically (immersive) i cannot choose to open in 2ndary browser. It would also be very helpful to be able to blacklist apps like in Chromer.

I love this app but it keeps crashing. Please fix! As I'm reading the page locks then disappears, sometimes I have force stop to be able to use it. Doesn't matter if it's my phone or tablet. It also freezes if I open more than 3 items.

Google docs weblinks will not open with flynx while in Quick Read mode. When trying to open the bubble loading the google docs page link, the flynx bubble will open and instantly force close itself. Can this issue be addressed. The google docs page can open fine in the regular website mode.

I've been searching for something like this for years. Happy to have found this app. It's perfect. However, it tends to close while I'm reading an article. This is annoying. Fix this issue and I'll give it 5-stars.

Update: For some reason the application now requires access to the phone functionality. Uninstalling till it's explained why. Used this after Link Bubble started having issues on my rooted MOTO G3. Great application, functions like a charm. Highly recommended for peeps who want to access links without closing the parent application.

It's an immensely useful app, but for the last few days it's got extremely unstable. It keeps crashing. And when that happens after I have selected 6 or 7 links, it just under cuts its raison d'etre. Uninstalling it for now

Love a lot of things about this browser, like the reading mode. But it crashes a lot, and it does so silently. Also, when it restarts it brings up every site I've opened since the last time it crashed instead of just the sites I had open at the time. Also it becomes a battery/cpu hog after a lot of tabs have been opened and closed. My other apps bog down.

Ads sometimes show up in quick read mode as well and there are some pages where it hides relevant text that are not ads... besides these Flynx is easily among the best productivity apps...new navigation feature and cloud sync are a wise addition...still waiting for clipboard features

First off--this is a fantastic solution and have already recommended it to a friend who also installed it. In the spirit of honest feedback here I go: 1.) While I do see the benefit of including the webpage title, sometimes I just want to share the link by itself. Certain apps I use automatically parse the link and generates the title and/or thumbnail - its getting somewhat tedious having to delete it each time in these cases. 2.) Similar to #1 the '--via Flynx' bit can also go away...especially after I already paid for it. 3.) Due to the placement of the sharing icon, it's really easy to throw out a link when minimizing the app. Thank you for for the great product!

This app is much better than Chrome's touch to search feature. Also saving pages is much better than pocket which used to be my go to app for the same previously. Most importantly I really wanna thank you guys for explaining each and every permission the app requires. Would like that privacy feature in every app. It's an awesome app with great features which I overlooked till now.

Doesn't even work with chrome. I'm using a galaxy note 8 and even with the proper setup the app says to do it doesn't pop open a new window in any of Google feed links or google chrome links. I can open the link and then go into settings and select open in flynx but that defeats the entire purpose. Emailed support... No answer. Also, lastpass didn't recognize the one site that actually work with a link through my email, that I use everyday in chrome. Just another useless app

Edit2 : Severe stability issues recently. Switched from OnePlus One to OnePlus 5, both phone have Flynx crashing unexpectedly. Contrast this with barely any app crashes 2 years earlier. Please fix. Really loved the concept of the app and the reading interface but crashes quite often and the 4 tab limit is a dampner.....hoping for a quick fix! Edit1: Issues fixed n love &gt; 4 tabs! But 'Open in secondary browser' does not work in expanded desktop mode on Oneplus One. Fix please!

Hi Ashish, sorry for the inconvenience. We're really working hard to squash all the bugs and make Flynx more stable. Also ability to open more than 4 tabs is coming very soon. Stay tuned :)

Would be 5 stars if only it let you venture to the next page of the website. For example, some site may require you to go the the next page for more info, but flynx removes that :/ Aside from that tiny gripe, everything works perfectly :) awesome job devs

Reconsidering my initial one-star rejection. The app still does not work on its own, even when made default, but at least you get it inside the 'Share' options of the browser in use. It may not be the one-click-to-go app, but what you get is an extra 'Share' option, useful nonetheless.

Was one of my must-have apps. Makes browsing so much more convenient, especially with links in Google Now. It does crash periodically and seems to have trouble with dropdown menus. Currently, I have issues with it not working at all, i.e., connection timeout while trying to load page. Re-installing the app makes it work temporarily (several hours at most) before it breaks again.

Works well for what it is, very convenient to use but not quite as customizable as I'd hoped to make it more efficient to use. For example, an option/gesture to not open in the app. Its all or nothing which makes it a little inconvenient at times especially when it doesn't have the capabilities of a full fledged browser.

Excellent, I've been thru quite a few browsers as I have an old Galaxy Y and all were soooo slow on the phone. This one is excellent!! I'd recommend it to anyone with an older phone. On a new phone it's probably even better!! Mx

Works really well as a secondary browser to use whilst in farcebook, etc. Can have multiple bubbles open and it really does work well with how I surf the Internet - maximum data, minimum time. If you're a nerd who wants to multitasking better on a phone, this is probably for you. If you're normal, you'll probably find some use as well...

If I make Flynx the default browser and trigger an OAuth login flow from an app (say Slack), it fails because Flynx doesn't take me back to the app when it sees an app link URL like slack://. Please fix this!

Thanks Vicky, many improvements are underway and would be rolled out in few weeks. Stay tuned :)

Essential must have top app! Makes multitasking a breeze and perfect for the short attention spans we all have thesedays. I'd say this in def in the top 3 essential apps EVERY Android user with internet access must have!

Works really well except for the few times it doesn't pop out when I click on a link, or it closes all of a sudden while im still on the app bubble reading an article. Other than that, I'm loving its functionality 👏

Useful idea for collecting links to read later without forgeting it while fallen in reading of main article without interuption and keeping it in backgroud for later reading.. I love the realization of this idea using Flynx for its simplicity and efectivity as I had to open intertesting link in article in backgroud tabs ie in FFox or Chrome or had to bookmark it and almost always forgot to return back for reading.. Realy useful app no need to say more;) try it and you'll say how could you live without it... Byebye drained resources by backround tabs opened ie on FF and say Hi for freed resources while reading thnx

Flynx is great a what it's intended to do. However, Flynx tends to act up when a device is in "immersive mode" (hidden status and nav bar); if there are multiple tabs open and have the desire to hit refresh, it'll switch to the tab behind the refresh button united I take it out of immersive mode. A feature I wish Flynx had is the option to open the alternative web browser from the menu in the right corner
